The values in these tables were generated from the NIST REFPROP software (Lemmon, E. W, McLinden, M. O., and Huber, M. L., NIST Standard Reference Database 23 Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties—REFPROP, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Standard Reference Data Program, Gaithersburg, Md., 2002, Version 7.1). The primary source for the thermodynamic properties is Lemmon, E. W, and Span, R., Short Fundamental Equations of State for 20 Industrial Fluids, / Chem. Eng. Data 51(3) 785-850, 2006. The source for viscosity and thermal conductivity is McCarty, R. D., Correlations for the Thermophysical Properties of Xenon, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colo., 1989. 

Values extracted and in some cases rounded off from those cited in Rabinovich (ed.), Thermophysical Properties of Neon, At on, Krypton and Xenon, Standards Press, Moscow, 1976. v = specific volume, mVkg h = specific enthalpy, kj/kg s = specific entropy, kJ/(kg-K). This source contains an exhaustive tabulation of values. The notation 7.420.-4 signifies 7.420 x 10". This book was published in English translation by Hemisphere, New York, 1988 (604 pp.). The 1993 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals (SI ed.) has a thermodynamic chart for pressures from 1 to 2000 bar, temperatures from 90 to 700 K. Saturation and superheat tables and a chart to 50,000 psia, 1220 R appear in Stewart, R. B., R. T. Jacobsen, et al.. Thermodynamic Properties of Refrigerants, ASHRAE, Atlanta, GA, 1986 (521 pp.). For specific heat, thermal conductivity, and viscosity see Thermophysical Properties of Refrigerants, ASHRAE, 1993. 

Groves received the news acidly. He had ordered Compton to run CP-3 at full power full time to look for just such trouble. Ever the optimist, Compton apologized in the name of pure science the mistake was regrettable but it had led to a fundamentally new discovery regarding neutron properties of matter. He meant xenon s consiuning appetite for neutrons. Groves would have preferred to blaze trails less flamboyantly. 

After 30 years of continuing investigation, the adsorption properties of the noble ses on metal and semiconductor surfaces have recently attracted renewed interest. On the one hand, some fundamental aspects have come within the reach of modem experimental and theoretical techniques, sueh as the very nature of physisorption and the noble gas - substrate interaction, the possibility to study growth and surface kinetics at the atomic scale, and the recent interest in nanoscale surface friction and related tribological issues, where noble gas adlayers serve as model systems [99P]. On the other hand, noble gas adsorption is being used as a non-destmctive and quantitative surface analytical tool as, for instance, in photoemission of adsorbed xenon (PAX) [97W] and for titration analysis of heterogeneous surfaees based on the site specificity of the interaction strength [96S, 98W].
